Let's divide 536982 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 536982.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
53 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 53 to get 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 116 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 84 from 116.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 329 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 294 from 329, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 358 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1278.0
If we subtract 336 from 358, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 222 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12785.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 210 from 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12785.2
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12785.28
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12785.285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12785.2857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12785.28571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12785.285714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12785.2857142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12785.28571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12785.28571428 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
